Corporate
- Appointment of new non-executive director
EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Liverpool Uranium Project (ELA’s 27584 and 26244)
On the 17th September the Company met with the Traditional Landowners through their legal representatives, the Northern Land Council, at Oenpelli in the Northern Territory, for the purpose of seeking approval for exploration and potential mining over ELA’s 27584 and 26244 (refer Figure 1).
These two tenements form part of the company’s Liverpool Uranium Project, situated in the world-class Alligator Uranium Field in West Arnhemland, some 35km south east of the historic Narbalek Uranium mine. ELA 27584 contains numerous significant radiometric anomalies (refer Figure 2), and also hosts the Devil’s Elbow Prospect, where previous workers have identified high grade uranium and precious metal anomalism (maximum assays 5.8% U3O8, 38ppm Au, 28ppm Pd) in surface samples and trenches (refer Figure 3).
The Traditional Owners have given their consent for the Northern Land Council to enter into negotiations with Eclipse Metals Ltd. The consent to negotiate will facilitate an exploration agreement to be drafted to allow Eclipse Metals Ltd to commence exploration over the Devil’s Elbow Prospect and the surrounding areas. Once the final exploration agreement is reached between both parties, the Northern Land Council will present all terms and conditions of the agreement to the Traditional Owners for a decision during a final on-country meeting.
Mary Valley Manganese Projects (EPM17672, EPM17938 & EPM25698)
Mary Valley Exploration
No fieldwork was undertaken at the project during the quarter. The company is assessing the most cost effective way of utilising geophysical methods to assess the scale of the manganese mineralisation ahead of proposed drilling.
